Police: Walgreens pharmacy robber hit two stores

Denver police are asking for the public's help to find the suspect accused of robbing two Walgreens just days apart. Investigators released a still image of the suspect captured from store surveillance video.

Police said the suspect wanted prescription drugs when he walked into the Walgreens on the 16th Street Mall Wednesday. The robbery happened just after 11:00 a.m. Two days earlier the same man is accused of robbing the Walgreens at Federal Boulevard and Speer at 2:10 p.m.

Investigators are concerned because both robberies happened in the middle of the day while customers were in the store. They do not believe the man was armed.

"That’s one of the reasons that we really want to get this guy’s picture out there so that the community can help us to identify him and we can catch him before he has the opportunity to commit another robbery," said Doug Schepman, a spokesperson for the Denver Police Department.
